Pursuing A Business Dream

Gregory Scott’s dream is to own a food truck business, and he’s trusting HOPE to help him achieve it. Gregory says HOPE’s recent expansion into Alabama ensured his community had access to affordable financial services. A loan allowed him to purchase a reverse flow barbecue smoker to keep pace with his growing catering requests for parties, church anniversaries and other events. “I’m working on a long-term plan for a small business loan to grow this enterprise,” he says. “Along with securing a mobile kitchen, I’d like to produce my Holy Smokes Spice Rub in mass quantity. I haven’t met a person who doesn’t like it.”
